I've been using Unix and the Internet since the summer of 1984, and a Macintosh Fanatic since December of 1983 (when I saw a prototype, before the official unveiling during the SuperBowl commercial). I've never voluntarily used IE, except when I'm at my parents house and I need to do something on the web with her computer -- which is almost never, since I always take my laptop with me. > I would love to have a self-discoverable > interface, or an interface that can be used to selectively reveal > just the parts you're interested. I just read the intro to a Slashdot article at <http://slashdot.org/articles/06/07/06/1654242.shtml>, which quoted the following section: | Dollar for dollar, network-based computers are faster. Unless you're playing Grand Theft | Auto or watching HDTV, your network isn't the slowest part of your setup. It's the | consumer-grade Pentium and disk drive on your Dell, and the wimpy home data bus | that connects them. Home computers are marketed with slogans like "Ultimate | Performance," but the truth is they're engineered to run cool, quiet, and slow compared | to commercial servers. I'm not 100% certain the original author being quoted by Slashdot is right, but at the very least I think you have to give some serious consideration to what the author is saying. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 LOPSA member since December 2005.
